THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING IN CRS RICE BOWL!

This year, our parish community joined nearly 14,000 Catholic communities across the United States in a life-changing Lenten journey with CRS Rice Bowl.

75% of your donations will go to CRS programs serving the poorest of the poor overseas, and 25% will go to NY Archdiocesan projects that minister to the poor and vulnerable in our community. Additionally, 45 fellow parishioners gave their time and talent to distribute and collect Rice Bowls, participate in the blessing of the Rice Bowls, make announcements, design and print flyers and posters, and count donations.

THANK YOU FOR HELPING TO CHANGE THE LIVES OF OUR MOST VULNERABLE BROTHERS AND SISTERS.
